Take Back Your Life!

Taking off your mask

June 2, 2009 by Giulietta Nardone

The best thing you can do for yourself, to live a truly memorable life, is to take off your mask. Sometimes it seems like we’re attending this non-stop costume party, relating and reacting to phony versions of each other. Can’t think of anything more painful or pointless.

The worst time of my life was my twenties. I wore someone else’s mask over my face. I did what I thought a person wearing that kind of mask would do until I connected my unhappiness with the mask. It took a lot of prying but I finally ripped it off.

Revealing the real me felt scary at first but I stuck with it and now I wouldn’t have it any other way

How about you? Is your mask fully off?
